This contributes to preparing qualified professionals with the scientific and technical skills required to keep pace with rapid transformations in healthcare.
The meeting also covered ways to launch joint initiatives that harness modern technologies, primarily artificial intelligence applications, to support diagnostics, improve the quality of therapeutic services, and enhance data-driven decision-making systems—thereby consolidating a culture of innovation and opening new horizons for cooperation between the academic and health sectors.
